The promo CD labels the versions "Edit" and "Album Version," and the "Edit" is an early fade of the "Album Version." The cassette single is also labeled "Edit," so it's likely the same early faded version. The "Single Mix" on the maxi-CD is a different mix from start to finish.]]> Thu, 08 Sep 2022 14:20:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=61761&title=single-album-version-distinctions#61761 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=61757&title=single-album-version-distinctions#61757 Author: mjb50

Yeah, Shep Pettibone often made his own "single mix" in that era. Sometimes it wasn't all that different, but he'd always change something, like the tambourines. So if you see his name on a "Single Mix" or "Single Version", be aware that it may or may not have been on a 45, and that an LP edit he didn't work on probably also exists.]]> Thu, 08 Sep 2022 12:06:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=61757&title=single-album-version-distinctions#61757 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=61756&title=single-album-version-distinctions#61756 Author: BSharp

(available on vinyl 45) Commercial cassette single copies state "Edit" on the sleeve, but the single is really just an early fade of the album length.

The "Single Mix" on the "Romantic" CD Maxi-Single

The Radio Mix and LP version of "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss" are definitely different mixes. The most notable difference is in the choruses following each verse, where the Radio Mix repeats the line "baby you send me" and adds some additional "da da da" singing on top of the Spandau Ballet ad-libs.]]> Fri, 02 Sep 2022 11:57:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=61708&title=single-album-version-distinctions#61708 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=61706&title=single-album-version-distinctions#61706 Author: BSharp

There's almost no mention of P.M. Dawn's "Set Adrift
On Memory Bliss" anywhere in these forums, but this
post led me to research it because both the "Best Of PM
Dawn" CD and their debut "Of The Heart, Of The Soul, Of
The Cross... The Utopian Experience" is out of print
(likely because of this song's Spandau Ballet sample...
there's only a later re-recording of the song on Spotify
and other streaming services).

If you can track down the Best-Of CD, that's where you'll
find the Radio Edit of "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss".
It's a louder mix with more prominent vocals and fades
about 10 seconds earlier than the album version, but the
distinctive difference is the last line of the second
verse -"That's the way it goes, I guess"- it's sung
acapella on the radio edit, whereas the album version has
it with the song's drum track in the mix. ]]> Fri, 02 Sep 2022 07:12:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=61706&title=single-album-version-distinctions#61706 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=52997&title=single-album-version-distinctions#52997 Author: Loveland

One obvious place is in the last verse, a couple lines before the chorus.
Compare the line "we can really turn this mutha out." Very different
singing on that part.

I have. I'll check them again to see if I can hear
differences through the different pitches.]]> Sat, 23 Jul 2016 10:15:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=45957&title=single-album-version-distinctions#45957 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=45956&title=single-album-version-distinctions#45956 Author: aaronk

They are fairly close, but if you compare the vocal inflections between
the two, you'll notice that they are different vocal takes. ]]> Sat, 23 Jul 2016 05:39:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=45956&title=single-album-version-distinctions#45956 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=45955&title=single-album-version-distinctions#45955 Author: The Hits Man

   To me' it
sounds like the same recording, but the producers played
around with the pitch a lot!]]> Sat, 23 Jul 2016 01:46:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132&PID=45955&title=single-album-version-distinctions#45955
